The 13 Best Places for Picnics in Tucson

Ed Eubanks: Beautiful park. Lots of walking, a great pond with a waterfall, and a good playground.

Eleanore Leichtenberg: Bread, popcorn, chips and crackers are very unhealthy for ducks and their ducklings. Instead, feed them halved grapes, rice, salad leaves, bird seed or vegetable trimmings :)

Kolika The Queen of Everything: The zoo nearby can't be beat. But don't chase the geese. They're kind of evil.

Dustin Cox: Wow. Splash park is super fun for the little ones. Big shaded area for the parents.

Wendy Conger: Wonderful trails, friendly people!

Justin G: Check out the website Read more.

💀 Victoria 💀: They usually feed the giraffes around 10am. That's my kids' favorite part! The mini splash pad is load of fun during hot summer days!

Rolando Ordinario: Check out the Jaguars! They are absolutely amazing :) Also if you happen to stop by at the right time, make sure to feed the giraffes!

Matthew Boepple: Nice little city zoo. A childhood favorite. They have a train (tram) outside the entrance that runs through the park and a water play feature inside the zoo. Polar bears are my favorite.

Samantha Boettcher: Great dog park! Avoid drama from the occasional crazy dog owner and it's a great place to let the pups let out some energy.

Jerry Stearns: Best place to fart in public ;)

Joe M: Great place to walk!

Kaustubh Thirumalai: Nice park; good views - neat birds!

Kristy Zapp: Beautiful Park! Free Events for the next few weekends, at 7:00 p.m.!

Monica: This Is the biggest doggie park I've seen. Dozens of dogs all running loose all over! A lot going on here too. I was playing kickball, but there was volleyball, frisbee, soccer ...

Remington S.: Picnic basket

Iram Gonzalez: One of the best and most interesting burger joints in town. Don't forget to order a beer!

Travel Channel: Adam took on the O.M.G. Burger Challenge; 12 beef patties and 12 slices of cheese – all between one bun! As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.

Megan Haeffele: Great patio! Get the fried cheese curds 👍🏽

Thom Butler: microbrew list is fantastic! The chips and sauces sampler is a perfect start!

Steve Lunetta: Everything our group had was great. John Wayne Burger, Cheese Curds, Sonoran Dogs. Watermelon Margarita and Moscow Mule!!

Skylar Paige: There are 3 separate areas here, separated by size for large, medium, and small dogs. The medium and large dog areas are quite dirty/dusty. The small dog area has more grass and plenty of room.

Raul R: never a bad idea to bring some extra bags to leave for those times when there are no scoopers.

Joel Snyder: Prosciutto Ham Lunch special for the win!!!!

James Burr: This place used to be sooo good & super friendly. It's now much more commercial & very hipster oriented. Sad to say, it's just not the same.

suzanne chilson: Try the Susie Sorority on a sub - delish! I've been coming here since I went to UA and have never been disappointed.

Jane Holm: BBQ nachos with pulled pork + a trio of sauces is an appetizer large enough for a meal for two. Washed down with a happy hour Dragon IPA while sitting on the welcoming patio. Service was perfect!

Vicky Hill: The best wings on earth!

Jennifer Kielmeyer Pritchard: Try the wings and the aged cheddar mac and cheese. Yum!

Amanda Shea: Always lots of friendly dogs and people at this park!

Laura Broadhead: Don't eat the fish!

Glo Miranda Palacios: :) relaxing place

Jenna Stone: The only down side to happy hour here is it starts @ 3pm and ends @ 5pm. The appetizers are delicious and the cocktails are made well.The calamari is prepared in a red sauce instead of fried. Try it!

Jeffrey: Grilled cheese is AMAZING!!!!

Deborah Ruiz: Mediterranean pasta..... delicious!!!!!

Ashley Haines: Phenomenal breakfast! Huge portions, good prices!

Derick B.: Their burgers pancakes and service
